No such thing as too much Deadpool!

There's a Deadpool limited series coming up in the spring.

Obviously we'll be getting it.

Hopefully it'll be something the ten-year-old can read as well.

See, Deadpool isn't really a kid-friendly character in that he's a killer. He kills people, and most of the time it's treated pretty casually.

However, he's also a character that kids are going to be drawn toward--mainly because he's funny (my kids gained their fondness for him from the Marvel Ultimate Alliance videogame), but in some ways he also seems to have a child-like persona, impulsive and immature. He's relatable.

So I make a point of being the first to read Deadpool every month. Before passing it on to the kids.

Because they do love Deadpool.

We want it.

The kids are enthused about the prospect of that upcoming Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion game. They aren't all that excited about the fusion aspect, although I think that'll change when they actually play the game.

The nine-year-old has said that she hopes that Deadpool is in this one.

All her Ultimate Alliance teams include Deadpool. In fact, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is the source of the family love of Deadpool. The reason we buy his comic book. How's that for a reversal of the usual pattern?

Best news of the day...week...month?

So probably everyone else already knows this but according to scans_daily (yeah, okay, I read scans_daily--I read it selectively, but I read it :))...

the new Deadpool book is due out in September.

Happy days!

Happy thought for the day

Marvel.com has an article up on how Deadpool is being used in the Wolverine: Origins title (Deadpool's New Way).

I guess I haven't been keeping up on my comic news, but one phrase in particular jumped out at me.

"...as the DEADPOOL series looms on the horizon..."

Whee!
